More flexible recurring events beyond weekly recurrence

[Jethril]

Fixes issue #22.

Currently working on the UI.
I will create a basic GUI because PR #113 will require to change it (if merged).

Progression update (currently without CSS) so you can see the fields:

would it be possible to go higher than 1 year? i.e things like world cups are 4 years apart each other, so the 1 year would not be useful for that, maybe we could use something like regex or some option like that for advanced users. I have many many cool ideas like these for better integration with other stuff

i would really like to help you on this, unfortunately I'm not understanding the code so i can work on it

The UI is quite ugly for now but you can see "on a week basis" and "every 1 week". If you select "on a year basis" you can set it to "every x years".
Would that solve your problem? Or do you meant, for example, every monday and every two years?

i was referring to that exactly, events that happen every 2 years or more.

Well, it would require a tricky UI, like this one: https://crontab-generator.org/.
A good point is that the UI would allow to cover the full rrule specification.

What I could propose is to make this MR work as I imagined it, then enhance it (maybe with one more issue?).
@davish what's your opinion on this?

Hi @Jethril, sorry for the radio silence, I've been heads-down on PR #303 that just got merged. Unfortunately, #303 rewrote must of the plugin, so this PR is no longer compatible with the architecture of the code. The good news is that for rrule was added as part of #303, so the only work remaining for issue #22 is the GUI. Thank you for your contribution!

I would like to implement the rrule package, but im not understanding how the code works structurally since is mostly uncommented, do you have anything that could help me better understand this code in order to implement it?

@Elkellympia, a good place to start would be the architecture guide that was just committed: https://github.com/davish/obsidian-full-calendar/blob/main/src/README.md. The rrule implementation is mostly in interop.ts.

So... it was not, this structure is yet to hard for me to understand.
